[Question] Japanese universities for foreign students
Like the topic says, I'm looking for a japanese (international?) university for an undergraduate degree. (Anything related to Foreign affairs / International Relations / Language Programs / And so so.)
My main target was the IUJ (International University of Japan) but it seems like I have to reduce my options since IUJ only takes Pos-graduates. So here I am asking for advices and experiences. - Are there any International Universities in Japan who accept undergraduates? - class's in English, Japanese or both? - Are there any admission exams regarding my Japanese language level? It's all for now. I would really appreciate some help! :ywave: |
The most well known foreign language university in Japan is Sophia University/Jochi Daigaku located in Tokyo's Chiyoda Ward. They have classes both in English and Japanese and accept undergraduates.
They are expensive however and your estimated cost just for *Freshman* year alone according to them will be the following (in Yen): Entrance Fee 270,000 (once at matriculation) Tuition Fee (assuming 31 credits: 31X30,100) 933,100 Building & Maintenance Fee 180,000 Laboratory Fee 19,500 Correspondance Fee (Including Consumption Taxes) 5,300 Orientation Fee 17,600 (once at matriculation) Alumni Association Fee 5,000 Health Insurance Fee 2,500 Personal Accident Insurance for Students Pursuing Education and Research 2,550 (for a 4-year period) Total fees for freshmen 1,435,550.00 JPY = 16,129.78 USD This doesn't even cover your living costs and lodging. In addition you will need a financial/general guarantor (typically a Japanese resident sponsor) before you will even be considered for enrollment. This is true for any college, university or vocational school you are considering in Japan. Here's their website: Sophia University English Site| Sophia University Official Website ICU or Internation Christian University would be the other well known alternative and has both English and Japanese classes but they too are also expensive and the same rules apply. Here's their website: ICU International Christian University Unless money is no object and you can shoulder the expenses involved you may want to reconsider and possibly finish your education in Portugal first and then travel to Japan on vacation/business travel to check things out then you can see about post-graduate courses or perhaps exchange programs. |

Looks quite expensive, but I can shoulder the expenses. (my parents deposited money since I was 1 month old - Now I'm 19 and I have over 30,000 euros there for school/health expenses) |
I've recently been accepted to Temple University, Japan, located in Tokyo. It's a branch campus of Temple University, Philadelphia USA, but it's a very international school. There are plenty of undergraduate degree programs to choose from. Classes are in English unless they're specific language classes. I don't think I could explain the school's pitch better than themselves, so here's a link.
